In the case of Al-Khawaja and Tahery v the UK the European Court of Human Rights confirmed that the use of hearsay evidence, where no other evidence is available, does not breach Article 6.

The decisive evidence was delivered in a written statement by one of the victims, who committed suicide before the trial begun.
